Crankshaft
Inspection and Service
Inspect the gear teeth of the cranksha . If the teeth
are badly worn, chipped, or some are missing,
replacement of the cranksha will be necessary.
Inspect the cranksha bearing surfaces for scoring,
grooving, etc. Measure the running clearance between
the cranksha journals and their respective bearing
bores. Use an inside micrometer or telescoping gauge
to measure the inside diameter of both bearing bores
in the vertical and horizontal planes. Use an outside
micrometer to measure the outside diameter of the
cranksha main bearing journals. Subtract the journal
diameters from their respective bore diameters to get
the running clearances. Check the results against the
values in Section 1, Specifi cations and Tolerances.
If the running clearances are within specifi cation,
and there is no evidence of scoring, grooving, etc.,
no further reconditioning is necessary. If the bearing
surfaces are worn or damaged, the crankcase and/or
closure plate will need to be replaced.
Inspect the cranksha keyways. If worn or chipped,
replacement of the cranksha will be necessary.
Inspect the crankpin for score marks or metallic
pickup. Slight score marks can be cleaned with crocus
cloth soaked in oil. If wear limits, as stated in Section
1, Specifi cations and Tolerances are exceeded, it will
be necessary to replace the cranksha .
